Lymphedema Management

Are your legs and feet heavy and swollen to twice their normal size? Are your arms and fingers bloated and achy? These may be signs of Lymphedema – the chronic swelling of a body part due to an impaired lymphatic system.

Lymphedema may cause painful, hardened skin over the swollen area as well as heaviness and limited ability to move the affected body part. Although Lymphedema cannot be cured, it can be significantly reduced and controlled through a formal treatment program provided by a specially trained Occupational Therapist.
